Only some kings are queens and not all so all kings can't be beautiful.

For sure all kings must be beautiful. Logically, they inherit this attribute from queens.

SOME kings are queens.

ALL queens are beautiful.

This doesn't mean that ALL the kings are beautiful only the kings who are queens are beautiful.

I don't understand how the 2nd conclusion does not follow, is it because it contains common term queen?, please reply.

Some kings are queens.... ok.

It not means all kings are queen.

And all queens are beautiful it means some kings are beautiful.

What it means is, some % all. Since some kings are queens, and all queens are beautiful, only some kings are beautiful, thus I cannot be true. Secondly, since only some kings are queens, logically not all queens can be kings.

Let's assume, SET(A)=KINGS and SET(B)=QUEENS.

As the given statement say's, "some kings are queens[1], all queens are beautiful[2]"

[1] => SUBSET(A)= SUBSET(B). ---- SUBSET(B) can be a SUPER SET(SUBSET(A)) or SUBSET(A).
So all queens have the possibility to be kings.

If king and queen are in the same group and if SOME kings are Queens, then all Queens must be kings.

Some queens are kings does not mean that all kings are queens, therefore not all kings are beautiful.
